La Cachette was clean, comfortable and in an amazing location with beautiful beaches. Indoor and outdoor living areas were spacious and it felt like a home. Thanks Mark and Michaela - we loved the quirky Knick knacks around the place.

Great property over looking the Manukau Heads. Even though the weather wasn't great it was a lovely place to hunker down and enjoy the peace.

Views to boot

An experience to remember. From the amazing views on the deck to the homely feel this batch has it all. We stayed over a weekend and although we visited a lot of the local beaches, we could have easily just stayed in the batch taking in the views. Communication was great. 10/10 would recommend

Wow

Absolutely fabulous stay. Peaceful; and with stunning views. Best-equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday rental; fantastically comfortable beds. Also an excellent shower.Location is just about perfect - far enough out of town to be quiet; but within easy driving distance of e.g. a fish and chip shop and a glorious west coast beach to eat them at. (Do not miss Hamilton's Gap).To say nothing of the local beach, on foot.I simply cannot rate this highly enough.
